1. Wi-Fi connection is outrageously slow. You cannot buy an airline ticket using their Wi-Fi.
2. The place in insecure. The windows have no working latches. Lots of hemp smoking and drunk people.
3. Radiators do not function properly. And you always have ask them to turn the heat on.

1. router died in november and we now have new superfast wifi. 2. how is the place insecure? was something stolen? -3a and no theft. 3. central heating- radiators do not allow heat to be controlled in room, only office. thanjjoe

Location is great for me because I came in and left via Amtrak and it is two blocks away. Thought I was sharing a bathroom with 4 people but actually there were three bathrooms on the floor two of which had a shower. Blinds and fan in the window in the bathroom haven't been cleaned in a long time. Dust was very thick. Kitchen closes very earlier, 9:00pm.

I felt very safe here! the staff were excellent very friendly and helpful! The only downside for me was that it wasn't too sociable but that is the fault of the people staying there rather than the hostel, not all bedrooms get wifi but all social areas do so everyone in the social areas are just on their phones and don't really chat to each other!

Chose C&N Hostel mainly for its location near the Pacific Central Station and a light rail stop. First impressions weren't great. Overwhelming smell of weed when we first arrived (if you're into that sort of thing). Didn't see anyone smoking inside. There were a few rules posted that everyone appeared to follow. There was a balcony for smokers which just happened to be right outside our room window. Not a huge deal but would prefer not to smell smoke. Helpful staff, felt safe. Would stay again.

really close, Can actually walk to see all the place in downtown, next to chinatown. Behing the hostel is the rogers center. 4 min walk to the bus/ via rail station. 15-20 min walk to granville St ( all the shopping store are there / nightclubs). All you need is some sport shoes.

The hostel was ok for the price, nevertheless apparently it is quite an honour if you are given a bed to sleep in. One of the receptionists was incredibly unfriendly and somehow did not want me to pay for another night as she was too busy with internet bookings ... however, the other receptionist was super nice. Also, you dont get sheets just a blanket that is not washed.

The bed had springs and it was very uncomfortable. it was really difficult to get some sleep. We had also cockroaches in the room and the bathrooms were dirty. One receptionists was so unfriendly but the other persons were totally friendly and helpful. The location is not the best and unsafe. We would not stay in this hostel again!
